Snap has surpassed 30 million paid Snapchat+ subscribers, the company announced Wednesday in its third-quarter 2026 earnings release. The milestone marks an increase of 5 million subscribers since February, when Snap reported crossing the 25 million mark. Launched in 2022, Snapchat+ gives subscribers access to exclusive and pre-release features for $3.99 per month.
Following a successful launch, Snap introduced additional paid tiers beyond the core Snapchat+ subscription to further diversify its revenue streams. These include Lens+, a $8.99-per-month plan that unlocks exclusive Lenses and AR experiences, and Snapchat+ Platinum, a $15.99 monthly tier that offers an ad-free experience. The milestone comes a year after Snapchat announced a controversial limit on free storage for its Memories feature and informed users it would start requiring users to pay $1.99 per month for additional storage or subscribe to Snapchat+ to retain their Memories.
Paid subscribers still represent a small share of our monthly community, giving us room to grow through broader adoption and new premium experiences.” As for the company’s broader earnings release, Snap’s shares fell 12% after missing ad revenue and user growth estimates. Snap reported 495 million daily active users for the quarter, up from 493 million in the previous quarter. However, the figure fell short of analysts’ expectations of 499 million.
